The National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (NCESSE), which I am a part of, has just launched a program that promises to be a unique and exciting opportunity for students in grades 5-12.
From the SSEP program web site:
The Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP), launched June 2010, provides middle and high school classes across the U.S. the ability to propose experiments to fly in low Earth orbit, and to celebrate that accomplishment with their local community and with national and global audiences.
Phase 1 of the program is a unique and historic opportunity to propose an experiment to fly aboard STS-134, the final scheduled flight of the Space Shuttle. Selected student experiments would fly for 10 days aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour. Launch is tentatively scheduled for November 2010, but a launch slip to mid-January is expected, enabling this student spaceflight experiments opportunity.
Decisive IT is proud to be part of this program and will be handling the web development and technology infrastructure to support this effort. Congratulations to NCESSE and it’s partners on making this program a reality.
